Busy Day
So, the last couple days have been busy. Especially today.
For those of you who don't know, I am going to be practicing Intellectual Property Law starting this fall in Chicago for the firm Fitch, Even, Tabin & Flannery. I'm very excited about the firm.
One of the requirements of my employment is passing several exams... Last fall, just before Liz went on bedrest, I passed the Multistate Professional Responsibility Exam (MPRE). Today I took the second of my three required tests - the Patent Bar.
First, let me tell you that the Patent Bar covers a wide variety of information. In print, the amount of material is ~ 12 point font, 8.5x11 paper, approximately 4-5 inches thick... a lot of stuff, and it isn't all the most exciting information in the world.
So, this morning I took the Patent bar. Six hours of fun in a room with lots of computers, lots of people taking different exams, where you can bring nothing in except the clothes on your back. Sensory deprivation (especially when you put the ear phones on).
Luckily, the suffering over the past couple months is over... and appears to be over. The computer said I preliminarily passed. Yahoo!
oh, and on another note, Emma came home today.

Congrats Chad! I know Eric was really relieved to be done with the patent bard! When Emma's older, you can tell her all about coming home the day you passed the patent bar. I have always heard how I was born at 6 am and my dad took a final exam later that morning. It was his best exam in all three years of law school! Yall must be thrilled to finally have her home!
I am so thrilled to hear that Emma is home. I've really enjoyed your pictures and hearing about Emma and her developing personality. I know you will really enjoy her even more now that she's home. Good Luck to you and Liz. Lynn Jarvinen
How wonderful to have her home and to have mom and dad on 7 days a week, 24 hours a day. She's so lucky and so are you! She is so beautiful.
Oh, and on another note, way to go Chad! susan smith
